usage and license

[frispete]

Dear Thomas,

I'm looking for a custom install_scripts method, that creates symlinks in /usr/{bin,sbin} to the real destination, and your distutils_symlink module is getting pretty close.

Being a distutils/setuptools illiterate, I've no idea, how to integrate your module into my setup.py. Do you have an usage example, you can point me to?

While at it, there no license assigned, hence I'm not sure, if I'm allowed to use it..

Thanks,
Pete

Hi @frispete - apologies, it was something I never really finished making reusable. I think, looking at the code, you use it like this:

from distutils_symlink import cmdclasses

setup(...,
      cmdclass=cmdclasses
     )

And then run setup.py symlink to create a symlink.

I'd consider this MIT licensed. I'll stick a LICENSE file in there.
